Congrats for the success of your WDE, Steph! This is really a lovely painting. And if you grant me permission to use your photo as a reference, I think I will have a go at painting it as well.
Artist Reply: Thank you Greg, and you can :D
*Hugs!*
This is really wonderful Steph... it has a 'familiar' feeling to it as I gaze at it.. It feels like a warm summer day to me, and makes me want to wander down that country road... Excellent rendering! :o)
Artist Reply: Thank you Les, but if you were to wander along this road I hope that your legs are strong because it is extreemly steep :D I'm not kidding either.
It's one of those roads that if you saw a car driving up it, you would wonder how it manages to keep it's front end on the road, and not tumble backwards. I haven't done it justice really :D
Went there on holidays when I was very young, wonderful work Steph, gorgeous colouring...Cath xxx
Artist Reply: Thank you Cathy :)
Did you like the area then, and how was the weather? :D It usually rains, but the year we went the weater was wonderful, and we traveled all around there.
Artist Reply: Yes but it doesn't stand out as anything special does it? But it was a trial for this new pencil, and I am impressed by it.
Thank you Emily :)
Artist Reply: Armando I would love to. First buy some Inktense from Derwent pencils, you will love them, and then I will tell you how I painted this :D
Thank you dear friend *Hugs!*
Artist Reply: Thank you Joke, these new pencils are amazing, they allow you to do a real wash of colour, just like watercolours but they are based on ink, so they are pretty well permanant.
Artist Reply: Thank you Nelly. I forgot to mention in my description that the road is very steep, as it is goinf up a mountain in Wales. Have you heard of Snowdon at all? I know it's a small mountain as world peaks go but it isn't tiny either :D
